Option 1: Interior Waterproofing →
Interior waterproofing systems, or interior water diversion systems, take water away from the foundation and direct it to the sump pump so that it can be discharged outside the home.
Option 2: Exterior Waterproofing →
This exterior approach involves removing the earth away from basement walls (where possible) cleaning and recoating the walls and updating the existing drain tile. Additionally, the idea is to treat any foundation cracks etc., that are found, to attempt to prevent future seepage . This system relies on the structural integrity of the original foundation basement walls, and can only be performed where access can be gained to those areas.
Option 3: Multi-step →
This inside, outside and indoor environmental approach to total foundation protection gets its name, and its patent, from its ability to resolve the entire water problem vs. just one or two parts of it like option one, or option two.
Option 4: Total Foundation Replacement →
Usually only necessary in cases where the foundation has seen neglect due to poor maintenance, this method can give you an entirely new foundation in place of the original deteriorated one. Because of its major impact on landscaping, driveways, sidewalks, utilities and re-settling, not to mention extreme cost, this option is usually reserved for only the most serious foundation cases.
